My two cents:
I believe Kaplan/PR are good for two strategies: plugging in and backsolving. Avoid them for anything else. The official guide, the GMAT prep software, and BTG are the only resources you need. None of the other companies is able to write practice questions exactly as they are on the test, and spending a lot of time with the OG helps.
I scored significantly higher on the GMAT prep software tests, and I found the Verbal portion of the real exam significantly more difficult than the Verbal portion on the GMAT prep tests.
Be careful not to go over your allotted break time. Time flies during your break, and it can take longer than you think to check back into the exam.
My prep scores
GMAT Prep 1 (prior to any studying) - 720
GMAT Prep 1 (retake) - 760
GMAT Prep 2 - (after 1 month of studying) - 730
GMAT Prep 2 (retake) - 770
Thanks to all on this forum for your help over the past two months.
